I don't know about you but when my son is on school holiday I never have much time for crafting or blogging. However I did manage to finish a few cards I needed for a commission and for a couple of challenges and also to play with some fimo I bought at my local charity shop.

The "Leaving to have a baby" card was a commission and I used a free template I downloaded from here.

The "Tea time" card below is for a challenge on Flickr and the other is for the Circles Summer Challenge at Kool Crafts and Arts.

I have mentioned my local charity shop several times on this blog, I love going there and finding things to use on my crafts. Recently I found fimo in different colours and have been playing with it making buttons and sweets. Alex also had fun making some animals and other stuff.
